Ooredoo Awarded Best 5G Gaming Experience in Oman by Ookla

Ooredoo is building the backbone of Oman's esports future, backed by 15,000+ Omani players testing its network

Muscat, Oman

Ookla®, a global leader in connectivity intelligence and network insights, has named Ooredoo the Speedtest Award™ winner of the Best 5G Gaming Experience in Oman for Q3-Q4 2025. The accolade is based on analysis by Ookla® of consumer-initiated tests taken on Speedtest® using modern devices on a 5G connection across all major operators in Oman, as well as Consumer QoE™ latency and jitter measurements taken to real-world game servers.

The results confirm that Ooredoo customers enjoy the best 5G gaming experience in Oman during the award period.

For Oman’s gamers, this reflects what competitive play feels like in the moment. Latency and jitter are the milliseconds that decide whether a move lands or fails, where timing is everything and performance has to be exact. It’s the kind of reliability players depend on when every second counts.

The award is based on large-scale, independent analysis. Ookla® evaluated more than 76,000 real-world Speedtest® results from more than 15,000 users across Oman during Q3–Q4 2025. These were consumer-initiated tests, reflecting real usage rather than lab conditions. Ooredoo achieved the highest Game Score™ among all operators measured and delivered the lowest  game latency, measured to real-world game servers in the country, the metric that matters most for gaming performance.

Stephen Bye, President and CEO of Ookla, a division of Ziff Davis, said: "With more than 50 billion consumer-initiated tests taken with Speedtest® to date and over 18,000 servers distributed across the world, Ookla has an unparalleled amount of crowdsourced data and network insights to measure the performance of 5G networks. We are thrilled to recognise Ooredoo for the Best 5G Gaming Experience in Oman for Q3-Q4 2025, which is a testament to their investment and leadership in providing the best technology to its customers."

For Oman’s gamers, the message is simple. The network has been tested, independently ranked and confirmed as the best for 5G gaming experience in the country. The connection is no longer the variable.

Jaffar Khamis Al Khaburi, Acting Chief Commercial Officer at Ooredoo Oman, said: "Oman has a generation of players with genuine skill, real ambition, and deep pride in what they can do. What was missing was a network they could trust completely. The Ookla recognition confirms it is ready. This is the network built for the way our customers live, and we are only getting started. Oman's players deserve a network that treats their ambition seriously. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it does not stop here."

Gaming is one of the most demanding real-world stress tests for any mobile network. The latency, jitter and simultaneous data load that competitive play requires are among the highest of any everyday use case. Ooredoo’s Ookla® ranking confirms the network is built to handle those conditions. For Ooredoo Home Broadband customers, that same network quality means everything a connected home needs, streaming, video calls, schoolwork and gaming, handled simultaneously without compromise.

This performance is already being tested at scale. Through Oman’s first nationwide esports championship, Ooredoo has brought together players across Muscat, Nizwa and Sohar, running live competitions on its 5G network under real-world conditions. The result is a network that is not only recognised by global benchmarks, but proven in the hands of players who rely on it most.

For Omani families, that means Ooredoo Home Broadband is a network that has already proven itself under the most demanding real-world conditions available. You can find out more at www.ooredoo.om[addlink].
